Thats what I was saying. We spend less on healthcare per person than Germany, France, etc.

You posted that you are about to retire on a final salary public sector pension - well why don't you spend some of that money looking after your own health instead of expecting young people to look after you? You must have made plenty in your life time on property - spend some of it instead of free loading of the young who already have enough burdens of their own.

Very few people have made money on property they might have money tied up in property but they can't use it, The people who will benefit from it are thier children and grandchildren that is if they don't need to go into care in which case it will be used for that. How many old people do you think could afford private health insurance.

Well if you boomers aren't going to fund you own health needs who do you think will?

Young people earn way less than any other generation EVER, areburdened with student debt and high rents and mortgage debt.

The government is already overspending at the rate of £60 billion every year - just to cover every day needs?

Boomers could have planned for this but they didn't. So sell your houses and fund your own health care or keep your fingers crossed and take pot luck with a doomed NHS.

Real average earnings are only back to 2000 and are still 50% higher than 1980.

30+ years olds spend more on phones and 70 year olds spend more on holidays.

It's a choice.

You do realise that 2000 is nearly 20 years ago? And 1980 the best part of 40 years.

As i said it's a choice - there are enough boomers spending money on two plus holidays a year.

Remember what Queen Elizabeth 1st said on her death bed? "All my possessions for a moment of time ".

For boomers it will be "all my chinese crap for a moment of time"
